"Halloween (Día de las Brujas) is hailed mainly as a children’s festivity in Mexico on October 31. It is often overshadowed by the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) celebrations on All Saints’ Day and All Soul’s Day."

Some Germans have learned about Halloween from the Americans, but some germans, mostly the older ones, think its just Amercian hype. Not many kids in Germany go tick-or-treating. Only the children in large metropolitain cities go door to door collecting treats
because just eleven days later it is the tradition of children to go door to door on St Martinstag with their lanterns. They sing a song and then they are rewarded with baked goods and sweets.
so St Martinsteg is basically their Halloween. Some more popular customs on Halloween is a pumpkin fest,l where whoever wants to carves a pumpkin, and you can walk around voting on which is carved the best. Also, many haunted castles are open to scare.

People usually celebrate Halloween in France by dressing up and going to parties and bars.

Halloween in France is celebrated by people dressing up, but instead of wearing princess and super hero costumes, they wear costumes that are known to be scary. Trick or treating from house to house is getting more popular. People used to just go to parties, restaurants, clubs, and bars.
